About Your Trip

Once we get settled in and put all of your belongings in dry spaces. We will embark out into the mobile bay or weather dependent head out into the gulf. Captain Cade will ask the customer what their goal of the day is. Whether it’s catching a the most quantity or spending time targeting a certain species to check off your bucket list. Captain Cade will then help you achieve your goal using his local knowledge and fishing experience.

Captain Cades boat is a 26 foot Gause Built Custom. It is hands down one of the most comfortable riding and spacious boats to choose from. The boat is loaded out with all the options and electronics to make the most out of your fishing day. The boat also has a folding Bimini top for those hot days on the water. We also use bean bags for the runs out to our spots to make sure that you are comfortable. The boat is also a flat deck which means the whole way around the boat is at least knee to thigh height. This is a huge safety factor for children and those that haven’t quite gotten back their sea legs!

Whether you want to chase redfish in the flats or Red Snapper offshore or anything in-between our charter company that works as hard as you do.

Captain Cade is a 100 ton master captain and has been fishing in the Gulf and Mobile bay since he can remember. From a young age Captain Cade always knew he wanted to be a charter fisherman. He started at age 16 working on charter boats as a deckhand. Captain Cade has also spent sometime fishing the Blue Marlin tournament circuit with several tournament placements. After Captain Cade finished his construction management degree he realized that his true passion is in the nearshore and inshore fisheries that the mobile bay provides. A day fishing with Captain Cade will be a day to remember. Captain Cade will be sure to make the most out of your day on the water to make sure that you have a great time and come home with some fish. Captain Cade’s favorite species to target are Redfish, Speckled Trout, Tripletail, Red Snapper, and Cobia. Captain Cade enjoys taking all calibers of fisherman from experienced anglers to people who have never caught a fish. Captain Cades enjoys seeing the smiles on peoples faces when they get their catch to the boat.

Captain Cade looks forward to fishing with you and helping you get your fish of a lifetime.

We were quite disappointed in our experience. Cade is a nice young man, but asked us nothing about our fishing experience or expectations for the day. Our first fishing spot was about 300 yards from the launch ramp where we caught about 5 or 6 fish, with the biggest being about 8 inches.

We then traveled about 35 minutes to the second location which was under a highway bridge.. We caught about 4 or 5 fish, with the biggest being about 10 inches. I understand that the guide cannot be responsible for the fish caught but it seemed like we were in locations that were targeting smaller fish. For the cost of the trip, we were expecting more of a "Gulf charter fishing experience." I would recommend not using this venue.

I tried to do the right thing and go above and beyond to give you the best experience possible. I just would have hoped yall would have said something to me personally. All I can guarantee is to go out there and try my hardest to catch fish.

I was very disappointed with our guide who showed up late and was not prepared for our trip. He showed up with no bait for the trip and acted like it was no big deal. Then we drove around for one and half to try and find bait . He did manage to get a little bit of bait from another guide and some dead shrimp and we sat on a oil rig and caught a few fish . The trip was supposed to be for red fish and speckled trout not for Spanish mackerel so I was disappointed altogether and felt like we should have got a more professional service for how much we paid.

You guys caught over 30 fish. Everyone was trying to find bait that day as it was very hard to come by as I explained to you.

I also explained to you that it was mid day and not a good time to target specs and reds. I also gave you a big discount even though we still caught a bunch of fish. I did my best to make sure y'all caught fish and did just that. I also sent a message letting you know I was going to be late as I was cleaning fish for my first clients of the day. After talking to you on the phone after reading this review you admitted to knowing all these things mentioned. I am positive nothing I would have done would have made you happy but the rest of your group was having a great time catching fish. I know that I did my job and put y’all on fish that were biting. However, they rent out boats everyday and you can guide yourself next time since you know more about fishing the bay than the locals! Thanks for the review!

I know that Capt Cade reached out to you in advance to let you know about the bait shortage and offered to take $150 off the price for the inconvenience, but I understand that this is still not the beginning to a fishing trip that you want. Cade also let you know that he thought spanish mackerel would be more productive than speckled trout and your group agreed to switch target species to have better odds of a successful trip (which worked in this case). Regardless, we still want to leave everyone with a good taste in their mouths and we've reached out to talk about a discount on a future trip here.
